"Based on an international workshop which brought together both practitioners and academics, this book is a unique attempt to set out guidelines for evaluating social development processes. It is intended primarily as a practical guide for undertaking the evaluation of social projects and combines a theoretical overview of the concepts involved, with insights into planning and implementation of evaluation. Three substantial case studies of evaluations are provided are provided from Colombia, India, and Zimbabwe. This book is the follow up to David Marsden and Peter Oakley eds. Evaluating Social Development Projects (Oxfam Development Guidelines no. 5 1990). It builds on the conceptual developments of the earlier volume, but the focus of the current book is primarily on the practical applicability of these developments for undertaking the evaluation of social development." --
